MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry's fans are already starting to guess what they will name their tot.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced the happy news that they are expecting a baby to arrive in Spring, after arriving in Australia for their royal tour.

Since breaking the news to the excited public, The Duchess of Sussex has been proudly flaunting her baby bump on royal engagements, and her fans have already been rushing to guess what her tot might be named.

Now, a frontrunner name is already beginning to emerge, with bookies claiming that a flurry of bets were made after the royal couple joined members of the family for Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.

The surge in bets suggests that the couple have just decided on a name for their little one, despite members of the public still not knowing if they are going to have a boy or girl.

Bookmakers Coral revealed that Victoria is now the most popular name on the table, with odds being slashed down to 8-1.

Meanwhile, Albert and Phillip are also strong contenders at 10-1, while touchingly Diana – after Price Harry's late mother – has the same odds.

Coral's Harry Aitkenhead said: “It won’t be long now until the latest Royal baby is welcomed into the family, and the name is always a popular thing for punters to bet on.

“At the moment it is Victoria that leads the way and is our favourite to be the name of Harry and Meghan’s first child, whilst famous Royal names Diana and Philip have also been popular in the betting.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry revealed that they were expecting their first child in Spring 2019, but an exact due date has not been revealed.

However, some royal fans have even questioned if she is further along than this, with others pondering if she was expecting twins after seeing recent pictures of her at a care home in Twickenham earlier in the week.

Meghan herself even commented on the size of her bump at the event, as she told a care home resident: "I’m very pregnant today."

Warmly greeting the crowd on her arrival, Prince Harry's wife waved at her legions of fans who were out in their numbers hoping to get a glimpse of the pregnant royal.
